Teensy 3 won't enumerate on USB

For the second time a teensy 3 now refuses to show up on USB. When I plug it into my Linux box I get:

So there's someone home, but it's not responding. I'm starting to freak out because this is supposed to go to Burning Man, without me tomorrow morning...

Any ideas? I'm about to walk down to Radio Shack to buy an Arduino and work out how to drive WS2811s from that :(

Can you still reprogram it from the Teensy Loader?

If you load the LED blink, does it enumerate then? (indicating some sort of software issue)

Or does it still have troubles even with the LED blink? (indicating some sort of hardware issue, perhaps power supply related?)

On the power, if you're running it from the same 5V supply as lots of LEDs, you might try using a dedicated (presumably clean & low noise) 5V for the Teensy3. Or try the USB power?
 
Aha! I can reprogram it from the loader. I thought it was dead to the world, but I can push the blinky program to it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm running the LEDs and the teensy off a car battery. I'm running the teensy off a usb-car-charger hacked into the 12v supply in the worst way :)

My electronics knowledge is still growing, but I feel like I still know some of what to feel guilty about. I'm hoping that there won't be particularly catastrophic power drops triggered by LEDs.

I would not trust a 12v USB charger, especially if it's an inexpensive one like those available at every gas station counter, to put out a clean voltage for your Teensy. It's hard to tell without an oscilloscope, but you might need some capacitor filtering across the 5V going into the teensy. It's possible it could lock up due to switching noise from the charger, or from "power drops triggered by LEDs."
